OK. This was an oversight on my part. Here's how you can fix it |
| 29 |
locally (this will be in the next catalyst)... |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Edit /usr/lib/catalyst/livecd/files/livecd-bashrc and change the third |
| 32 |
mention of "startx", where it is on a line of its own, to ##STARTX. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Next, edit /usr/lib/catalyst/livecd/runscript-support/livecdfs-update.sh |
| 35 |
and change line 83 from: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
sed -i "s/startx/su - $first_user -c startx/" /root/.bashrc |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
to: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
sed -i "s/##STARTX/su - $first_user -c startx/" /root/.bashrc |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
This will resolve the bug. I didn't pay much attention to what I was |
| 44 |
doing here, apparently. I apologise. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Anyway, I've now fixed this is catalyst 1.1.10.1 (the first bug fix). |

| 56 |
Well, the root user is automatically logged in, and when his .bashrc is |
| 57 |
executed, it will run startx, or in your case, it will run su - chris -c |
| 58 |
startx to start X as user chris. |

Hehehe.... it's all good. Sometimes the language barrier makes things |
| 63 |
harder, sometimes it doesn't exist. |
